Phil,Thanks and yes, that's the same as I have although in many places I do things a little different now.

Gerald,Thanks for the greeting, my trip to Fair Isle was a predictably lumpy motor-sail but thereafter all fine until horrible headwind in Loch Linnhe. I sailed across the flats into Findhorn where 'Saoirse' is still waiting for a new back mast from Australia (!) - boat next door fell on it in a winter gale. Back out at half flood with 150mm under the keel and made Clachnaharry by HW (2,400 rpm in a calm). Kirsty won Best Veteran at Helmsdale Dog Show but is now a pirate dog, minus her right eye. Hope Sweden was good.
